The
Senate Committee on Homeland Security is taking calls about Bannon's
appointment to the NSC. You can call: 202-224-4751 please spread the word
by copying and pasting. You just leave a message saying, "I oppose
Steve Bannon to National Security Council". You can add more, but
really they're just tallying opinions.

From one of our own: Paul Ryan and Mike Pence both spoke out
against the #muslimban before it became a real thing. Now they've changed
their story. (And deleted their tweets!) This weekend we turned their
hypocritical tweets into a ton of postcards to flood their mailboxes.
People were asking for a printable template so here you go! You can print these 4x6 postcards on
cardstock or cut them out and glue to notecards. Contact info is included.
Highly recommend using a red marker to add commentary. Remind these
cowards that it's not too late to do the right thing. Let me know if you
have any trouble downloading and FEEL FREE TO SHARE! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-fZaGpeMf4jNm00SHl0YUZNdUk?usp=sharing

Just
a reminder that this is a good source to use to keep up with how senators
are voting on cabinet nominations:

If
you don't have Twitter, get it! You'll need it for the resistance. If you
do, then mosey on over to "Tweet Sheet Tuesdays," a group where
we all simultaneously post prepared tweets on Tuesdays at noon Eastern. We
posted a tweet about the EPA yesterday, and next Tuesday we will be
tweeting to Senate Democrats encouraging them to grow a spine and start
resisting the Trump agenda. https://www.facebook.com/events/1824466434493534/

Call the
Senate Finance Committee at(202) 224-4515and let them know that you oppose
Chairman Hatch and the Republican members of the committee changing the
rules to approve nominees without any Democrats present.

Email the Senate Committee on Homeland Security
through this online form https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/contact, and say something like “I am writing to express my
concern and strong objection to the appointment of Bannon to the NSC - at
the same time that people with actual expertise (chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and the director of national intelligence) were shifted to
a smaller role. This action makes America less safe.”

A national
strike is being planned for February 17.
“On
February 17, 2017 we will be staging aNational General Strike.The idea is 24-hour
occupation of public space in protest of the Trump administration’s
refusal to honor the Constitution of the United States of America.” For more information, click here: http://f17strike.com/

Keep
up the good work, everyone! Sen.
Schatz tweeted on Thursday evening, “The last three days have been the BUSIEST IN CAPITOL
SWITCHBOARD HISTORY. By almost double. This is working. Keep it up and
please RT.”

On #2 above, if the voicemail is full, consider using the contact form on their website, which is given in #10 above: https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/contact/On #10, you can site the statute that is actually being violated by Bannon sitting on the NSC: US Code requires that anyone not at Cabinet level on the NSC be Senate approved. 50 U.S. Code § 3021(a)(6). Being this level of informed gives enormous heft to your objections...we the people, whose government it is, object to our laws being violated.

Yes, thank you so much for your hard work. I've been referring all my friends in the resistance to your list. Here's a suggestion for a possible action. File a complaint with the FCC against Chairman Ajit Pai's action to stop 9 companies from providing low-cost internet access to poorer Americans. Here is the link to the FCC complaint page: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us. And here is a WaPO article about the action: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/02/03/the-fcc-is-stopping-9-companies-from-providing-subsidized-broadband-to-the-poor/?utm_term=.21b945fe31e5.
